Assignment: Comparative Politics Paper
Term Paper Proposal
Length: 7 Pages.
After carefully examining the syllabus and textbook the country of my choice in which I would enjoy conducting thorough research on is the nation of Turkey. The recent tensions flaring up in Syria, President Donald Trump is withdrawing U.S troops after he threatens to "devastate" Turkey's economy if they attack Kurdish forces; leaving Turkey to worried the future of their national security. In such a country where religion and political turmoil merge it is close to impossible to predict the future of their actions. These events have sparked my interest in learning more about the political, economic, and social relations in Turkey.
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey which was once ruled by both Christian and Muslim empires. After World War 1, the Ottoman Empire sits defeated which led to the Turkish War of Independence in 1919 - leading to the overthrow and downfall of Sultan Mehmet VI Vahdettin. Next, the Republic of Turkey is founded by Kemal Ataturk, a national hero, later named as the first President of Turkey. On October 29, 1923, a new Turkish constitution replaced the constitution of the Ottoman Empire, forever marking the independence of the nation.
In addition, using library databases from the State College of Florida will allow me to find books, magazines, and academic articles regarding the political sanctions enforced in Turkey. One of the things I would hope to learn during research assignment is not only how politics is done in Turkey but its relationships in regards to other countries. Finally, achieving approval for this paper will allow me to learn more about the political structure in Turkey.
